Instax Mini 25

Officially, it is Day 3 of doing my social responsibility for the week, of Vegetarianism. I'm pretty proud of myself. Yesterday, for lunch I had this Singaporean Dosa wrap from Mendocino Farms (my first time there, but I hear their sandwiches are the bob-bomb (Scott Pilgrim reference))! Here it is... I had to use my phone camera, but that's another long story. I opened up the wrap, and as you can see, a big wad of greens!! I was so sad... until I bit into it. OMG it was hella good. The curry and the mango chutney with the lettuce and the soft crisp of the honey wheat tortilla... was so good that I would have ordered it again even if I wasn't a vegetarian (for the week.)!!



For dinner, I had Chinese food! Gosh, I don't know when the last time I ever ordered a vegetarian Chinese dish was.... even the Chinese lady behind the counter gave me a weird look when I ordered the Hunan style Tofu dish....



I am ESPECIALLY proud of myself today, because I had Tofu Steak with veggies over brown rice for lunch. Doesn't that sound UBER healthy???? OMG. If someone ordered this while I was around, I would've thought they were a freaking hipppie.



Ok, so the thing I'm MOST proud of myself EVER this week is.... nothing related to all my accomplishments at work.. but it's the fact that I went to happy hour today with co-workers and without thinking, I ordered the braised short ribs and the slider at Nick and Stef's. Once I ordered it, I realized I couldn't eat it... and I didn't! I passed it off to other people. All I ate were garlic fries. And drank. A lot. Of Dark and Stormies. Probably going to drink more after this post.

Back to the title of this post... look what I got myself for my birthday this year!

Veggie Tales Part 2

So depressing. Bottega Louie in Los Angeles for dinner and I'm unable to order the Orecchiette which is house made pasta with sausage and swiss chard ragu!! Instead, I am having the Fettucine Belmondo... which is pasta with cherry tomatoes, garlic, and arugula. NO MEAT. not a red sauce or a white sauce, because there's no sauce! It's actually ok... but depressed that I couldn't get what my heart desires, which is greasy meat.

Veggie Tales

In an attempt to be healthier, and balance out all the korean bbq I have been consuming, I am going to try to be a vegetarian. For now, I am going to try it out for the rest of the week, but I have a feeling this is not going to last the whole week. However, most of the vegetarians I know are lean and healthy people so there must be something to the madness! Plus, as a vegetarian, you can save those calories from meat and spend them on booze!

I'm kind of bummed because I've been really wanting to try this Malaysian Curry Chicken Banh Mi sandwich at Starry Kitchen, but I will try this to reduce my ecological footprint (I think that's the term...). I probably ate an entire pig and cow this weekend at Hae Jang Chon in Ktown, and I plan to eat more of them when I celebrate Oktoberfest and my birthday this weekend.

Today, I have consumed some coffee bread for breakfast and for lunch, I am having a Vegetarian Burrito Bowl (means there's no tortilla) from Cilantro. Sounds boring? It is. Helps that I covered it in salsa and jalapenos though!

The Best Pizza I Ever Ate

I don't care what the food network stars say, but Grimaldi's pizza in Brooklyn, NY is the best pizza I ever ate. This particular one had garlic, basil, tomato, and pepperoni. OMG the mozzarella... mmm.




It was 100% worth the 1.5 hour wait.

OM.NOM.
